False Eyelashes

If you believe this Daily Mail article, doubling your false lashes is the latest way to go. In fact, two female finalists on the wildly popular UK series, X Factor, recently wore lashes so outrageous, consumers have been heading out in droves (UK-based Superdrug has reported a 33 percent rise in sales) to double theirs up to get the effect. So, I thought I'd try the look out for myself. But did it work? To find out, just keep reading.

Shu Uemura can ring our bell any time because the brand's shiny new disco ball eyelashes are totally cool. Making a debut this season, the company is taking us all back to Studio 54 with what are basically disco balls for your eye area.

The lashes are called Neo Reflectors ($65), and they promise to give a "mirror shine effect for outstanding cyber-chic eyes." It's an extremely fun idea, though we get the feeling you might walk around blinding yourself and others. Also, we may be wrong about this, but mirror lashes could potentially be rather heavy.

What do you think of the latest offering from Shu? Would you consider giving these a try while dancing away to "The Hustle," or do you prefer to leave them to the Lady Gagas and Harajuku girls of this world?

When I saw these gorgeous Paperself False Eyelashes, I almost let out an audible squeal. Not only are they cool and dramatic, but if you look closely you can see that these "lashes" are actually cut out to make pretty little horses. They're incredibly creative and apparently inspired by the art of Chinese paper cutting. Each of the patterns is representative of a good hope — the horses symbolize success, for example, and other patterns are for fortune and love. Only thing is, though, you can probably only wear them once, if you dare use them at all, because they're made out of paper. Check out the rest of their patterns in the gallery below, and then tell me: would you wear these?
